The steering tension knob on my Motorguide sheered off when I tried to tighten it.
I'm going to drill and tap for a stainless screw just above where the tension knob had been to replace the now-not-working-tension-bolt, but I am not quite sure how the tension mechanisim worked.
Does anybody know if the tension bolt actually touches the inner shaft of the trolling motor? Is it a plain bolt? Is there some type of bushing on the end of the fastener that puts tension on the shaft?
Any help appreciated.
